A million decisions – is it just me, or does it sometimes feel like planning a wedding involves a million decisions? Take bridesmaid gowns – they come in practically every shape, size, and color and you have to make a choice that will make every one in your party happy. No problem, right?

With the New Year, comes the opportunity to usher in some of prettiest of looks for 2016. With the bi-annual bridal fashion shows expanding our minds of what a “white dress” can be (sometimes, not white!), bridesmaid dress trends have loyally followed suit, adding their own flair down the aisle.

It’s “Bridal” season…or is it? As a Makeup Artist and Hairstylist I feel like every season is bridal season. Brides don’t just get married in June or July they get married all year long. However it does seem like “tragedy” season as it seems as though I’m coming across more and more brides with horror stories when it comes to bridal beauty. I’ve heard about how they’ve had several bridal consultations and/or trials and couldn’t seem to find the right match until they met with me. While that is a compliment it also saddens me. If a bride truly knows what she wants then it should be fairly easy to be matched with the perfect glam squad. Try these tips before you jump the broom!

While studying Fashion Design at FIT, I worked for a Wedding Photographer and interned at Amsale and Bruce Oldfield. I loved being around all the gorgeous wedding dresses and accessories. After graduating, I worked as an Assistant Designer on the Lauren Ralph Lauren Collection working my way up to Associate Designer. After 10 years in the fashion industry, I decided to stop designing and start raising a family. Now, 12 years later, I am a proud mom of 4 wonderful children and an amazing business. Bella Bridal & Heirlooms is a one stop shop for your wedding day needs. I started this company because I wanted every bride to be able to have a Royal Wedding without the price tag!
